[Powershell]Obfuscate password

This is a sample script to create a password file, the file is encrypted, however when you need to read from the files you can use it for your script to authenticate so that your script do not need to hardcode the password in plaintext.

$username = "Your_Username"
if ((Test-Path .\password.do) -eq $true) {
    $password = Get-Content ".\password.do" | ConvertTo-SecureString
    $credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($username,$password)
    } else {
        Read-Host $username -AsSecureString | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Out-File .\password.do
        $password = Get-Content .\password.do | ConvertTo-SecureString
        $credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($username,$password)
        }
    #$credential.GetNetworkCredential().Password

The credential.GetNetworkCredential().Password will display your encrypted password in plaintext.

This is how password.do looks like:
